    So I finally got this piece of crap Toshiba Satellite Pro m70-sr2 running. Had to get a charger, wipe the hard drive clean (wasn't able to get into friends install of windows due to BSOD). Now here are my problems:

    1.) The touchpad doesnt work... I nearly cried when finding this out. It doesn't even show up in device manager. I've taken the laptop apart, is it possible I didn't put some sort of ribbon back in? I've tried installing the drivers from Toshiba but that didnt help either...


    2.) Apparently the graphics card inside of this is the ati radeon x200, but every time I try installng a driver, it says it couldnt find the correct hardware and it keeps giving me errors. Any ideas?
